That's missing the point of Linux entirely. Your average end user isn't using Linux as their day-to-day desktop environment as it requires some skill to maintain. They are using Windows/OSX because they don't have to focus on the platform and are able to carry on with their workflow applications, needing minimal back end maintenance. On the flip side, many sysadmins will not run back end operations on a Windows box as you simply don't have the same level of control, configurability, and customization that you can achieve with a properly set up Linux solution. And calling any OS requiring knowledge to operate and maintain garbage is downright ignorant, as this entire thread and article proves otherwise.
Except all I've been hearing about for the last 20+ years, is that THIS YEAR is going to be the year everyone uses Linux on the desktop. That's not ever going to happen with how archaic it is to do basic tasks.
Trieste seems pretty sketchy too (easternmost major city in Northern Italy). I was traveling from Milan to Croatia, got all mixed up on trains, and got in to Trieste at about 8pm with no connecting bus to Croatia until the following morning and most hotels/hostels full for the night. Dodgy people walking around and weird vibe in general. Luckily I got a ride out that night.
I really enjoyed Trieste during the day a couple of years ago, delightful and historic. Haven't seen much of it at night though. It's not unlikely it's got a larger percentage of folks coming through from the Balkans / Eastern Europe than other Italian cities due to its position. There's been tension in the country in the past couple of decades due to inbound migrations from that area.
